Alright thanks. Another question, do you by any chance know of anything in the qigong/energy work repertoire that would be good for upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS)? It’s similar to sleep apnea if you’ve heard of that.
You say ‘reawaken’ the tan tian – does that mean my dan tian is shut off? depleted? How does it work? It basically feels like some channel in my whole abdomen has disappeared, from my solar plexus area down to my root chakra area. Greatly diminished emotions and what seems to be complete loss of the spiritual aspect of life, just a sense of staleness and boredom, but my anxiety is still as strong as ever.
Is there anything I could do to understand more clearly what’s going on with me (It’s not kundalini syndrome)? any sort of energy ‘readers’ or something that I could seek out for help?
Well Gurdjieff claimed that he ‘saw’ the considerable amounts of walking dead in great towns and the like, not just in hypnotism experiments, so I guess it was something he could observe the way you observe someone to be happy or sad.
My question is if Gurdjieff is right about all this, then what is the Essence or ‘Genuine Being-Consciousness’ in Taoist terms. What is it that enables one to feel faith and love, that life is meaningful, magical etc, and what sort of depletion are we talking about when we lose these feelings?
Don’t really understand your post ribosome…
Gurdjieff says that there is this thing called Essence which is I guess our True Self. He furthermore claims that if not properly taken care of this True Self can actually be killed by the stresses and pressures of neurotic living, leaving the individual an empty shell with no spiritual existence.
“pretending”, “destroying the game”, not sure how that relates to Gurdjieff?
